When I started working, I had to change my wardrobe, changed my hair style , and even revamped my accessories collection….The Business world can be tough and the way you present yourself is extremely important, so I knew that my face and hands are also part of my body that need to be well taken care of…Now if you do your nails on a regular basis , then you will know how expensive this can be, not to mention that for a working mom , finding the time to get the nails done is certainly not an easy task.

A few weeks ago I found a more inexpensive and easy way to have beautiful salon quality nails at the reach of your hands and in the comfort of your home. Haute Polish offers you the Haute Polish! An at-home Gel nail polish kit which includes everything you need to create beautiful gel nails at home. The Starter Kit includes: Smart Talking LED light, Nail Polish Color Classic Red, Cleanser/ Finisher wipe Packets and Detailing Wands so you are good to start your manicure as soon as you get your kit (the lamp utilizes 4 AA batteries that are not included on the kit).

The Haute Polish system is a Chip resistant, long-lasting (up to 14 days) nail kit…Haute Polish is fast, fun and more importantly very easy to use ….Actually it is no more different that applying a regular nail polish with the difference being that you use the UV light lamp when you apply the Haute Polish…So the truth is that now you can have flawless gel nails within minutes with no waiting time at the beauty salon and without the $$$$ tag that accompanies a gel manicure.

So how does it work? Haute polish has found the way to make the process as easy as using regular nail polish, to apply the Haute Polish all you really need to do is apply the haute polish as you will do with any other nail polish making sure you are covering the whole nail and then just set your nails under the UV light (the light will go off automatically….I found it best to repeat this process to make sure your nails are completely set and ready).

After the nails are set the next and last step will be to wipe your nails with the cleanser finishing wipes that comes with your kit. If the steps were not simple enough, Haute Polish includes an innovative step by step voice instructions right on your lamp!

The retail price on the kit is 79.00 and it is a great ally for beautiful nails for the holidays!Win it:Haute Polish has kindly offered one lucky Born 2 Impress reader, the chance to win a free Starter Kit!ENTER HERE

If you are anything like me, your Christmas decorations totally transform your home. Every nook and cranny has a beautiful taste of Christmas.

(totally not my house. lol)

But what do you do after Christmas is over, when the tree comes down, Santa Clause goes back to the North Pole until next year, and the holly & garland start to dry out? I find it very depressing. My home becomes a blank canvas once again. Please don't get me wrong, I love my home and how I have decorated it. After the Christmas decorations come down it is just like culture shock. From completely ornate, to sporadic. I decided one year that I would transition my home decor after Christmas, kind of like weening off the holiday decor. LOL

I love 'winter' decorations. I decorate in silvers, light blues, snowflakes, polar bears and penguins. A snowman here and there too. I change the scent of my home from 'Spruce in the Snow' to a lighter 'Iced Snowberries'.

Some of my favorite Winter Decor items are on sale right now in my End of Season Sale.
